Thursday - Featured site of the Week E-mealz.com

Blogging is supposed to be a release for me. This week has been less than stellar for me in some ways and really good in other ways.

I have been conducting a little experiment this week with e-mealz.com. So far so good. The dish I made the last night was another big hit. So not only is it easy to follow but it is also good.

So here is my break down so far:

Pros-
Easy to read and follow recipes (the entire weeks recipes are on one page!)
So far everyone likes everything on the menu
It made my shopping trip quick and easy
You can search on the internet for a coupon code to get a discount on your meal plan!

Cons-
The portions are not big enough for my family, so I have to adjust
Condiments are not included in the shopping list and some of the things they consider condiments I would not (i.e. hamburger buns)
I have to substitute healthier items (low sodium broths and soups, etc), I know that they do this to keep the price down, so I choose to use the more expensive item to be a bit healthier.

All in all I really like this site. Because I have two stores I shop at I now have 14 meals to choose from for my family, the shopping lists are ready to go, I just take my coupon binder and hit the road!
